A "musician" look
I decided to make a proficiency mule after my Aged 25 character + Zombies + Wand scenario and he shall be focusing on music skills.
So I need help deciding what he should wear and the colors, here's what I think and your opinions would be helpful
The ones with * next to them are the ones I'm thinking of getting, need your opinion if it looks good or not.
The ones that are bold are the ones I think look best and will go with that
Colors: (the first color shown will be the the "main" color, that is, the color that shows the most)
White and Gold
Black and Gold*
Head:
Hat
Cores Hat
Mongo's Hat
Folding Glasses*
Wood Rimmed Glasses
Rose*
Body:
Celina's Half Jacket Coat*
Edekai's Priest Robe*
Xiao-Lung Juen's Formal Suit
Chic Suit (dunno if it's out yet)
Feet:
Out-Door Ankle Boots
Xiao-Lung Juen's Dress Suit Shoes for Men*
Rollo's Loafer Shoes (dunno if it's out yet)
Gloves:
Sesamoid Glove
Light Glove*
Standard Glove
Lorica Glove*
Robes: (so my clothes don't lose as much dura when fighting )
Lacard's Layered Muffler Robe*
Jabu-shinseon's Imperial Robe*
Kite Shield Rim Color:
White
Black*
Gold*
Wowie, that was alot. Anyways, your help would be greatly appreciated and if you don't like any of the options post what you think should be there. Also if you don't know what some of the items are, tell me and I'll link you to a picture of it. Hopefully I decide on the color set at least so when I create him on Saturday I know what color the eyes and stuff should be 
So yah, help please!

I'd go for Black and Gold for the main color scheme. In my opinion, white does go with gold okay, but I think that's too obvious a color scheme, so black and gold it is.
For the headgear, I won't suggest anything from those options, as I do not know how the hats look and glasses don't seem musician type. I do, however, like a nice red rose in one's mouth. (Hurrah for owning one for myself!)
Your main clothing will not be Edekai's Priest Robe. It looks nice, but it's way too overused at the moment. The Xiao-Lung Juen's Formal Suit is too formal, so I say go for the Celina's Half Jacket Coat because I don't think the Chic Suit is out yet either. Even though I don't know how either of them look.
I'm going to skip gloves and shoes because I really don't care. As long as they're in the color scheme, they'll be fine.
Either of the robes will look great, but I would go for the Jabu-shinseon's Imperial Robe, since it looks more grand and musical. The Lacard's Layered Muffler Robe is too casual.
Lastly, if the Kite Shield's rim color was Gold with a black inside, it would match perfectly with the color scheme.
Note that I am not the greatest fashion expert in the world, and that this combination of clothes with colors might look very horrible. Yeah.

Oh yeah, forgot about Rose =D, I'll probably go with that.
And I linked all the names to a picture, just click on the name
And I doubt Kite Shield will have Black Inside, it's always a shade of Brown

I will most likely go with the Black and Gold color scheme, in my opinion the clothes look best with black as the primary color rather then gold, but the hair and eyes look better in gold rather then black. So now I will need to decide on hair style and hair and eye color, here were some of the options:
I didn't want to go for Black because the hair and eye color looked ugly so I went for gold and the above were as close as possible. In the picture are other options for the hair, eye, lips, color and etc. so if you don't like one of them you can point out the one you think would go best from the other options available.
Since I don't plan to ever rebirth him I'm trying to make him as perfect as possible and leave no regrets
Thanks so much if you guys help me decide

I would go for a less common color combo.

Im trying to represent "music" not go for what's popular or not.
And Black and Gold represents music the most, in my opinion.
What colors do you suggest I use then?

I think music warrants softer colors or more natural colors. Look at the npc nele, he's entirely brown.
natural colors like dull brown, blue, green/dull green, etc. because music is a very natural and wordly thing.
or softer colors like light blue or light orange, etc. because music invokes a lot of emotion in people, and I think soft colors show that a little more.
unless of course the music is mostly death metal or whatever :| then soft colors simply aren't appropriate.
I think the black and gold just doesn't click very well as a musician. the white and gold does more, but either of the color combos looks more correct in my mind as a knight.
I think if you changed the black to maybe a dark navy blue, and the yellow to a duller shade, it would look a little more correct to a musician, and snazier at that.
Or, depending on the clothing, perhaps go with white and a softer color. Like.. white and periwinkle, or perhaps even white and grey.
if you have a lot of dark colors in your outfit, maybe slap on some white gloves.

The color's don't exactly make me think "Music" at first thought. Of course, we both probably have different images of a musician. However, I do like Exandriel's option of Light blue. It wouldn't clash with your previous option of hair color, as they are both soft, lighter colors. For a secondary/primary (Whichever you may go with, if you do go with Light Blue), White, Navy, .
The Edekai Priest robe looks very...Mature at older ages and I like the slimming look it gives with an instrument.
As for the Folding glasses/rose arguement, why not both? Switch between them every now and then, they both look sophisticated.

Dunno what you mean by "natural" colors. But I'm testing out the softer/lighter colors to see how it looks and will post screenie later.
And try to think I will be dyeing the clothing, so getting such colors will be very time-consuming
I highly doubt that Nele was portrayed with those colors on purpose to be shown as a musician (probably just some random color combo)
I went for Black and Gold because I looked at music and not musician.
When I thought about Music it gave me the image of black and white just like music sheets and gold because I think of grand and extravagant and harmony like a symphony with all those instruments. and Silence is Golden, lawl.
And on the grand subject, that can usually be portrayed by a Tuxedo which is another reason why I have black as a main color
Hard to explain exactly what I'm trying to say but that's like a general idea
